Games of great import
I used to do this every week, but real life has been hectic. So here goes:
Auburn at Arkansas, noon - Bama losing may have thrown the SEC West in chaos. Every team has 1 or 2 losses in conference right now. So if you can beat Bama, you can win the SEC West...maybe. Bama does dodge Georgia and did win @ Florida. However, Auburn and Arkansas (as well as Mississippi) are good enough to beat Bama, I think. So this could have big implications.
Sparty at Indiana, noon - Sparty comes in undefeated and ranked 10th. Indiana is 2-3, barely beat WKU, and Michael Penix is definitely not 100%. Yet MSU is only -4.5. Would be big of OSU's resume for MSU, Michigan, PSU and Iowa to win when they aren't playing each other.
Okie St. at Texas, noon - Texas comes in after inexplicably choking vs Oklahoma. Okie St is undefeated, although their average margin of victory is just under 7. Okie St. has a bit of a clear schedule after this until the season ender vs Oklahoma, given that they've already beaten KSU and Baylor. An Okie St. win may pave the way for an insane Bedlam game.
UCF at Cincy, noon - SMU and Houston are currently ranked. Cincy plays SMU in November, and would play Houston in the AAC title games. Cincy probably needs to win every other game by at least 3 scores to impress the committee. Or maybe they could win every game by 70 and it wouldn't matter.
Kentucky at Uga, 3:30 - Kentucky is undefeated and ranked #11. They play Mississippi St, Tennessee and Vandy in conference the rest of the way. If Kentucky somehow wins this game, they are very likely headed to the SEC title game. I mean, Georgia is almost certainly going to win, but if not, extreme chaos.
Purdue at Iowa, 3:30 - Schedule does Iowa a solid, giving them a home game after a big win. Purdue is Purdue, so if Iowa is down, even the home crowd might not be enough. Obviously, a 12-0 Iowa at the B1G title game is a big resume booster for the B1G East champ, and a good way for the B1G to get 2 teams in the CFP.
